In a landslide victory, the CH-Rs or HRE setup won out against the E88's I had also bought. I was deep down a rabbit hole looking for the perfect setup which would really make or break the look I'm going for with my C2S since it will be rather lightly modded.

Ended up going with a trusted advisor in Eric at Supreme in his opinion to switch out the suspension from H&R springs to the H&R VTS and stick with the E88's. I was absolutely floored with the end result. The overall look of the car is completely transformed from my CH-R setup. The ride on the VTS is not much different than the H&R springs even though much lower.. the lower profile of the car looks a lot better as well. The front lip scrapes a little more than before (which was hardly ever) but no other problems with the bottom of the car or anything. Handles like it's on rails with the Sport Cup 2's.

Anyways, thanks guys for all the input on the previous thread - I'm sticking with this!




yea man loving this on your ride!!

I'll have to do some research and reply back. Eric at Supreme Power has all the info and has done a ton of cars on BBS. Highly recommend contacting him if you're serious about a BBS setup.

BBS-Japan has finally made the tooling to get 20x12 LM. We’ve defined some fitments that will use it:

Corvette wide body (Grand Sport, Z06)

991 Porsche wide & narrow body

Audi R8 / Lambo Huracan

Mclaren 675/720



We’re also looking at AMG GT and maybe Ferrari 488…
